Have a feeling a top 4 club might snap him up in the summer.

Hard to judge him, worst part of his game is defending, didn't have any to do.

If you continuously float hopeful balls into the box with no pace or purpose then any 6ft+ Central Defender would look good!

Won't of had an easier this game season. I was more impressed with Long and Pelle who ran our back four ragged.

You're playing a bloke who's been monstrous in the air so you chuck Crouch on and go longer. Crazy.

I thought he was excellent. Saw every bit of danger and snuffed it out with the minimum of fuss.
Excellent both aerially and along the ground I thought and surprisingly light footed for a big man.
Very impressive today.

It was a joke!

It was a joke! We were crying out for crouch all second half and it was too late when he came on. Crouchy beat him in the air all the time we just didn't hit the right balls for him. They had to bring yoshida on because of it

Van Dijk carried on playing with a cigar on and reading a paper.

It's the only plan b Hughes has, if trying to walk the ball into the net still isn't working by about the 80th minute he chucks Crouch on. We had Crouch, Diouf, Walters and Shawcross all playing up front in stoppage time, and we still didn't win a header in their box.

So crouch wasn't winning headers then no? Jesus sometimes I wonder what the fuck you watch at the games. Some of the stuff you come out with is embarrassing. Just been reading your anti wolly shit as well. What a fool.

No headers won and no one moving off the player who was going for the ball so if they did by some miracle win one we wouldn't have done anything with it anyway.

I hope he comes through that horrific facial injury he received late on to win that time wasting free kick. CHEAT.

Imagine him and Shawcross at the back. Ryan isn't fit mate. I meant in a sort of hypothetical sense, where they're both fully fit. I know Ryan spent a lot of time talking to the physios after the final whistle, I think he's still getting back into the swing of things. I didn't think Pelle got a lot of change out of him, though - the two goals were down to Wollscheid (I think he was marking him at the corner? He was for the next corner) and Shaqiri.

Said the same on the way home, colossal display today. A lot of questions were asked about his £13 million transfer fee, he looks to be worth every penny to me. One of the most impressive individual displays I've seen at the Brit for quite some time.
